It's possibly that you have acquired an infection in the burned-up location of your hand. I strongly recommend that you go to the doctor immediately, better a dermatologist who can determine it from the severity of the case and prescribe the immanent treatment.

I have noticed white patch on my face near upper lips can u pls suggest solution
Female | 20
Vitiligo is a medical issue leading to pale spots on skin areas. It happens when your body attacks its own cells. Or vitiligo may stem from inherited genes. There's no permanent fix, but creams and light treatment can help blend skin tones better. Sun protection is key to stop color changes. You can also visit a dermatologist for treatment.

Female | 19
If you have active pimples, acne, and dark spots, it’s best to see a dermatologist. They can give you proper treatment to clear your skin and reduce dark spots. Avoid using harsh products on your own as they might make things worse.

Sir actually whenever my mother has fever and after recovery her upper body gets dry
Female | 61
Fever can cause dry skin, which is common after recovering. However, it shouldn't last too long. Make sure your mom stays well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and applying a gentle moisturizer regularly to nourish her skin. If the dryness continues or worsens, visit a dermatologist and they can explore more solutions to address the issue effectively.

I am a 19 year old female. I have had a red patch on the inside of my upper lip for around 4 and a half weeks that hasn’t gone. Sometimes it’s painful, and it regularly tastes metallic. I’m not sure what this is or how to treat it
Female | 19
You may be dealing with a condition called oral lichen planus, which can cause painful red spots in your mouth that taste metallic. Don't worry, it's not contagious. The exact cause is unknown, it might be linked to the immune system. To ease the discomfort, avoid hot or sour foods and use mild mouth rinses while keeping your mouth clean. If these tips don't help or your symptoms worsen, make an appointment with a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and discuss further treatment options.

I am 54 and have had a swollen, red, itchy, scaly skin leg from the knee to the toes. I’ve been to the doctor 3 times and they checked for a blood clot and ran tests. No clots. Tried 2 different antibiotics that were prescribed and no change. Icing doesn’t change. Elevation doesn’t change. Compression socks doesn’t change it either. Resting it doesn’t help either.
Male | 54
It seems that you have a resistant skin problem on your leg. The redness, swelling, itching and flakiness could indicate different illnesses such as dermatitis or eczema. After excluding blood clots and failure of antibiotics treatment, it might be helpful to have them checked more thoroughly by a dermatologist. They can suggest different kind of therapy which will be more efficient taking into account the exact nature of the disease.

Can you suggest to me the best hair transplant technique? And after my hair transplant surgery will I have to take off from my work for a few days??
Male | 32
The choice of the best hair transplant technique depends on various factors, including your hair loss pattern, donor hair availability, and your preferences. Two common methods are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUT involves removing a strip of the scalp for grafts, leaving a linear scar, while FUE involves individually extracting follicles, leaving minimal scarring. Regarding recovery, it's advisable to take a few days off work after the surgery. The initial recovery period typically involves some swelling, redness, and scabbing around the transplant area.

I have cut marks on hand can it be removed by laser treatment?
Male | 24
Laser therapy sometimes treats cut marks on hands. This targets damaged skin, fading marks by promoting new growth. Results are best on fresh red marks. However, older deep marks may not respond well. Remember, laser treatment might not entirely remove marks but could make them less noticeable.

I AM 29 YEAR MALE MY NOSE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MOLE WHAT SHOULD I DO
Male | 29
Moles on your nose seem ordinary and usually don't cause harm. Their appearance could stem from genes or being exposed to sunlight. If these moles maintain their size, shape, and color, there's typically no reason for concern. Still, monitoring them closely and using sunscreen to shield your skin remains advisable. If any changes occur, consult a dermatologist.

I am 22years old female and have acne or my face for last few years. I have not taken any treatment before this. And my one more thing is I have acne which are filled filled with pus, kindly suggest me what to do? How I can get rid of it?
Female | 22
Acne can cause by hormonal changes, stress, genetics, or other factors. If you have acne that is filled with pus, it is likely that you have an infection. Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible in order to get the proper treatment. You may need topical medication, an antibiotic or other treatment to get rid of the infection and reduce the breakouts. Keep your skin clean and moisturized, avoid touching your face again and again, and limit your exposure to dust and pollution.

It’s been over a week almost 2 weeks the rash I have under my armpits still itch and seems to be not getting better I don’t see my doctor until march 14 and I dont consider this an emergency for me to go to the ER I’ve tried putting on antibodics cream and Benadryl cream and burn relief gel with lidocaine and it seems to not be helping I haven’t shaved or put any deodorant on what else do you recommend I can put on to help with the itching ? Or what else could it be since it’s not getting better
Female | 33
Under your armpits, you seem to have a persistent rash. Your description suggests intertrigo, a fungal infection. When skin rubs together and moisture gets trapped, fungi can thrive. To ease itching, try an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream. Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid tight clothes. Use a gentle, unscented soap. If the rash persists, your dermatologist may prescribe an antifungal cream.

I have a problem with my thumb finger, I doubt it is blood blister, once pinched, blood is coming continuously
Male | 49
Your thumb may be inflicted with a blood blister. Blood blisters occur when the blood vessels under the skin are traumatized. They can be painful, and the more you compress them, the more blood will come out. For it to heal, don't scrape it off and try to save it from getting injured more. If it is causing much discomfort, cover it up with a bandage.

Hello, I am suffering from Alopecia areta at my sideburns. It started around 2006, by now I've lost them completely. A doctor from Solapur had injected in that area twice, still, hair didn't grow. Kindly suggest what can be a guaranteed solution at a reasonable price?
These are your treatment options for hair loss: Biotin tablets, PRP treatment, minoxidil lotion.
I wouldn't recommend hair weaving.
But virtual platform has restrictions, thus I would further encourage you to reach out to me, or other specialists and this page will help - Dermatologists.

Hair fall occurs after four days of washing hair.
Female | 17
Losing strands when washing hair can feel disheartening. This issue may stem from factors like stress, nutritional deficiencies, or using harsh hair products. Handle your locks carefully during washing and drying. Opt for gentle shampoos and conditioners to see if it helps. Should excessive shedding persist, consulting a dermatologist is advisable for personalized guidance.

Burns. Dropped a pan of hot bacon fat on foot. Foot has patches of broken skin beneath toes, sore areas, now reddening of the skin. Male is homeless and couldn't get to see doctor. I am contacting on his behalf. I have photos is needed.
Male | 37
Burns can result in redness, pain, and broken skin. In addition, he can treat this by using ice or cold water to cool the burn, keep it clean, and apply aloe vera or antibiotic ointment to it. Do not wear shoes that are too tight and push the foot to a high position. If the pain gets worse or the skin is already infected, he should see a dermatologist immediately.

It' been one year skin infection on my face I use cream but never it goes away
Female | 43
For a year, your face battled an unwavering skin issue despite using cream. Bacteria, viruses, fungi - any could instigate such infections. Perhaps the cream proved ineffective, failing to address the root cause. Seeking a dermatologist's expertise would provide a precise diagnosis, unlocking the appropriate treatment path. Promptly resolving infections is crucial; neglecting them risks exacerbating the condition further.

I'm 39 from Nigeria. I have a black, cone-like lump on the upper left side of my belly. It started as small bump some years back but with time developed to 2cm in diameter. It's very hard. I feel pain around it each time I'm nervous and itchy sometimes. I have had scan conducted but didn't reveal exactly what it's.. it suggested that Stony bump appears like degenerating Lipoma. .
Male | 39
This hard mass might be a lipoma, which is usually harmless and consists of fat cells. These growths mainly develop under the skin and grow slowly over time. Although it is good that you have had a scan, sometimes further tests are necessary for conclusive results. However, if it is very painful or bothers you a lot, consider consulting with a surgeon who may recommend its removal.

My face is tanned to 2 shades dark color suddenly and I have 4-5 moles developed on my face and neck.Kindly suggest me medicines.
Female | 38
Sun tan is quite common because of unprotected sun exposure. This is because of excess production of melanin or excess accumulation of melanin in the skin layers in response to UV rays. Moles are formed due to arrest of melanin producing cells in skin layers where they continue to produce melanin which collects to form flat or raised moles. Tan can be treated by using certain depigmenting creams which contain glycolic acid, kojicacid, alpha arbutin etc which have to be used under the supervision of a qualified dermatologist. Procedural treatment like chemical peels and laser toning with QS yag laser can help. Most important is religious use of sunscreens to prevent further tan and improvement of skin. Moles can be treated by radiofrequency ablation, punch excision or Q-switched yag laser. So please consult a qualified Dermatologist.
